Quick answer

For the RG34XX, the 3D Printed Handle offers a precise, comfortable grip; for the RG35XX SP, the Handle Shell provides seamless integration. Choose based on your console model and whether you prefer a clip-on handle or a shell-style cover.

Design differences and what they mean for you

The two handles are built for different console shapes. The RG34XX handle is a traditional grip that attaches to the handheld, while the RG35XX SP handle is a shell that wraps around the device. This affects how they feel in your hands and how they protect the console.

Because the RG35XX SP is a clamshell design, a shell-style handle can offer more coverage and a more integrated feel. The RG34XX handle, being a grip, focuses on ergonomics during play without adding bulk to the device when not in use.

Comfort and customization trade-offs

Both handles are 3D printed and offer color options, so you can match your style. The RG34XX handle emphasizes comfort for extended gameplay, while the RG35XX SP shell emphasizes a perfect fit and secure installation.

If you value a grip that you can remove easily, the RG34XX handle is straightforward. If you prefer a more permanent, integrated solution, the RG35XX SP shell might be better.

Trade-offs and decision rules

  • RG34XX handle with exact fit: If you own an RG34XX, this handle is tailored to that model, giving you a precise grip that enhances comfort. Check that your console is the RG34XX, not the RG35XX SP, before ordering.
  • RG35XX SP shell with seamless integration: For the RG35XX SP, this shell is designed to integrate with the clamshell form, offering a secure and cohesive fit. If you plan to use a case, confirm the shell doesn't add too much bulk.
  • Customization and delivery: Both handles are 3D printed and come in color options, but they require 7–10 days for delivery. Order ahead if you need the handle by a specific date.
